'''{{color|#B0C4DE|Protons}}''', are whitish-blue in color. This rare and experimental weapon type fires a concentrated stream of proton particles at its target dealing moderate damage over time. This weapon is equally effective against starship shields and hull. Should a Proton Weapon land a critical hit, it has a 50/50 chance of dealing additional proton damage that completely bypasses the target's shields.

'''Proc''': 50% chance: on critical: Additional Proton Damage (Ignores Shields)

See the [[#Proton-based|Proton-based exotic damage]] section below for player-usable exotic Proton sources. As for non-exotic sources:

Proton weapon damage, boosted by {{skill|Starship Weapons Training}}, includes:
* {{icon2|Experimental Proton Charge||very rare|24px|nofloat=1}} {{item|Experimental Proton Charge||very rare}}

* Proton '''energy''' damage, boosted by {{skill|Energy Weapon Training}}, includes:
** {{icon2|Dyson Proton Weapon||very rare|24px|nofloat=1}} {{item|Dyson Proton Weapon||very rare}}
** {{icon2|Solanae Dual Heavy Proton Cannons||very rare|24px|nofloat=1}} {{item|Solanae Dual Heavy Proton Cannons||very rare}}
** {{icon2|Protonic Polaron Beam Array||very rare|24px|nofloat=1}} {{icon2|Dual Protonic Polaron Beam Bank||very rare|24px|nofloat=1}} {{icon2|Protonic Polaron Turret||very rare|24px|nofloat=1}} {{icon2|Protonic Polaron Cannon||very rare|24px|nofloat=1}} {{icon2|Protonic Polaron Dual Cannons||very rare|24px|nofloat=1}} {{icon2|Protonic Polaron Dual Heavy Cannons||very rare|24px|nofloat=1}} Protonic Polaron space weapons from the [[Dyson Joint Command Reputation Store]]
** {{ability2|Shield Inversion}} and {{ability2|Destabilized Proton Beam}} abilities from the [[Solanae Advanced Technologies]] set
** {{trait2|Point Defense Protocols}}, a starship [[trait]]
*Proton '''projectile''' damage, boosted by {{skill|Projectile Weapon Training}}, includes:
** {{ability2|Launch Proton Charges}}, a universal console ability

Lastly, these abilities deal Proton damage that scales with your Auxiliary Power, but isn't classified as weapon or exotic damage:
* {{ability2|Proton Barrage}}, an ability from the [[Dyson Joint Command Technologies]] three-piece set bonus

Things that affect '''non'''-exotic Proton damage:
* Proton damage from any source is boosted by {{iconlink|Console - Tactical - Auto Targeting Module Mk XII|24px|rare}} {{con|tac|Auto Targeting Module}}s and the {{iconlink|Console - Universal - Proton Particle Stabilizer|24px|very rare}} {{con|uni|Proton Particle Stabilizer}} from the Dyson Reputation System.
** The two-piece set bonus from the [[Solanae Advanced Technologies]] set also boosts Proton weapon damage (including {{ability|Launch Proton Charges}}), but ''not'' the damage caused by {{ability|Destabilized Proton Beam}}, {{ability|Proton Barrage}}, or {{ability|Shield Inversion}}.
* Proton resistance is provided by {{iconlink|Console - Engineering - Energy Signature Dampener Mk XII|24px|rare}} {{con|eng|Energy Signature Dampener}}s, while using the {{iconlink|Subspace Field Modulator|24px|rare}} {{item|Subspace Field Modulator||rare}} will give -400 Proton damage resistance, much like the [[Ophidian Cane]] on the ground. Since Proton is a form of energy damage, the most common protection against it is in the form of All Energy Damage resistance or All Damage resistance ratings, such as from {{con|eng|Neutronium Alloy}}. {{ability2|Protonic Shielding}} does '''''not''''' affect your Proton damage resistance.

Finally, damage reflected by the {{skill|Shield Reflection}} skill is dealt as Proton damage, though it cannot be boosted by any means. It is simply 20% of the reflected critical hit's damage.
